What if I know they're wrong about something but I'm too mentally burnt out and disabled to be articulate and knowledgeable enough to refute what they're saying? Like they will run circles around being wrong and then pat themselves on the back and call me a dumb Russian troll or something.

The best I can think of is linking to an article or a video that refuses their bs. But that's not an option in meat space. This is why I stay at home and never talk to strangers.

This is why it's best not to go out anywhere or talk to anyone except for strictly utilitarian purposes, imo.

They don't want to win. The sooner the western left is cast aside into the garbage the better.

I believe that when it happens.

I have no reason to believe anything in the godforsaken western world will improve in any of our lifetimes. The "western left" is an utterly useless morass of disorganized cults run by narcissistic liberal sex pests with no long-term strategic planning skills whatsoever.

That would track too.

 

I would like to learn in detail about how the People's Republic effectively countered the Western attempt to create an East Turkestan state and successfully re-educated the terroristic elements into productive members of their society. What English-language books, articles, and other sources can fill me in on how exactly they did this?

That liberal imperialist audience is getting smaller and more insulated every day. Eventually it will be narrowed down to two core constituencies: Live Laugh Love real estate agents and kill-all-immigrants carwash owners.

I came up with an acronym to describe Maoists and other annoying Westoids.

TOWEL

Terminally Online Western Leftist

Some book that explains how Maoism emerged in the West and became the presence that it is today.

____ them all.

Thank you and I agree with this criticism. I made some changes to the Age of Andar to better reflect class relations that would more plausibly give rise to the scenario in the Age of Storms.

Some ground rules that I decided upon for this setting...

  • Humans come from Andar, not Earth. Andar functions as a stand-in for Earth so that I can utilize historically-inspired elements without being tied down to too much real-world baggage.
  • There are no sapient aliens. I like to include native creatures that live on various exotic worlds, but I have avoided any mention of extraterrestrial civilization, as this proved too disconnected from the themes I wanted to explore.
  • This is a no-magic verse. That means you won't find any psychics or Force powers or anything similar. These elements hogged up too much focus in an earlier phase of this setting's development so I had to leave them out.
